information, and an alarm to notify you about certain events or statuses. The System Status
panel is in the upper left corner of the HP SIM GUI and can be customized by clicking the
Customize link within the panel.
Viewing health status from the table or icon view
To display the next level of status detail from any page in HP SIM that shows a health status icon,
place your cursor over the icon and additional status detail information appears. The status values
that appear depend on the agents installed on the target system.
In some cases, the system is a container, such as a rack, enclosure, complex, or cluster. In the
table and icon views, the status value is the status of the container and does not include status of
subsystems. If the status is Unknown, only the system name and Unknown status icon appears.
Viewing health status in the tree view
The tree view displays status data for each system, as well as rollup status for container systems.
The status icon is located on the left side of the tree view next to the selection checkbox. For systems
that are containers, the status to the left of the container name indicates the most critical status of
the systems in the container, including the container status itself. The status of the container itself,
if there is one, appears to the right of the system name, inside parentheses, alongside the system
type label. Placing your cursor over the status icons will reveal additional status details.
